The large barn destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning, and which stood "far
out upon the prairie" had quite a his.
tory, inasmuch as it was formerly the
Congregational church. 1t was built in
1869 or 1879, and was used by the Con-
gregational Society as a church until the
new one was built. when it was sold and
moved out neal what is now the capitol
site and transformed into a barn. Later
on it was again moved a considerable dis
lance out to the site where it stood prior
to yesterday morning. When the Con-
gregationalists gave it up they held fare
well exercises, on which occasion a poem
entitled, Good Bye to the Old Church"
was read. The old building has quite an
interesting history, and there are many
memories connected with it that will bear
recalling.

When asked the other day whether ad-
ditional buildings are to be put up at the
fair ground this season, Col. T. w. Chat
fee, president of the Fair Association. re-
piled: We'll, | suppose we shall have to
do that if we expect to accommodate
everything and everybody next fall"
Unoficially it is stated hat two or three
new buildings will be put up there this
summer, including a spacious horticultural
hall, and there is some prospect that a
one mile track will be laid out and put in
suitable condition north of the old road
which formerly divided the fair grounds
near the center.

The CitY Park.

The LEADER reporter yesterday took a
trip through the city park and noted the
transformation it has undergone since it
has fallen into the hands of Henry Alt
man, chairman of the committee on parks
and public buildings. A large portion Of
the park has already been leveled off and
made as smooth as a floor, bnt with a
slight incline to the south, and workmen
are now engaged on the balance. which
will soon be in the same condition. Be-
tween 1000 and 1900 new trees, maple,
cottonwood and other kinds well adapted
for shade, have been set out in the park
this spring, or will have been when the
work nowin progress is completed. There
are many old trees in the park that are
thriving. but rs -tbey were too far apart
new ones have been set out among them.
In one partially vacant place a large lot of
apple trees are to be set out, and a con-
siderable amount of shrubbery, also, will
find a place there.

The boom has taken such a deep hold
on the minds of some of our citizens that
they are discussing the propriety of having
(if possible) the city discontinu, and aban-
don Lake Minnehaha by turning it waters
loose to find their way again into Crow
creek. There are many blocks under
water at the lake. and they still belong to
the city. The argument used is that the
city ought to sell these lots and blocks
now under water, and hat by so doing
Cheyenne might in part get out of debt.

Apropos of Russia, l am reminded Of
All anecdote vouohed for as authentic n
related by that clever journalist, Aurehan
Schoii.
Car Nicholas, returning from paying
an early visit to one of his daughters, no.
ticed at the door of a hotel a young man
with a cigar in his mouth. Nicholas could
not tolerate the smell of tobacco,
You are q foreigner, sir?" he asked.
Eyes, general, D" was the reply; Il have
Just arrived from Paris"
Then you are unaware that smoking
in the streets Of st. Petersburg is forbid
den. l warn you lest your ignorance get
you into trouble
Thanks, general" And the Partisan
threw away his cigar.
But IL smoking was not allowed, neither
was 1t permitted to address the emperor;
and scarcely mad the latter passed out Of
sight when two police officers approached
the traveller and he was soon on his way
to the station, where he remained until 10
In the evening in the society of the thieves
and drunkards who had been arrested the
previous night.
When the superintendent questioned
him he told his story; nov an officer in
generals uniform who was passing had
advised him to throw away his cigar, and
that he Ind at once done so.
and you didn't know who the general

The official set the Frenchman at liberty
and made his report to the chief Of the
Third section. The latter, thinking the
adventure might have some unpleasant
political consequence-that the French
man might lodge u complaint with his
ambassador and that he the CHIEF might
be blamed for the action of his subordi-
nates-decided to inform the emperor of
what had happened.
His majesty seemed annoyed. go,
find the traveller, :" he ordered. Il wish
to express TO him, personally, my regret
for the outrage to which he has been sub
iected.n
When an officer in uniform came TO his
hotel the poor Frenchman had visions of
Siberia and began to regret bitterly having
yielded to his desire to visit 1.-The empire

his usual equanimity when Nicholas TX
planned to him the cause of his unpleasant
adventure.
Forget this little misunderstanding, "
added the emperor; land If you remain
any time in Russia it will give me pleas
ure TO prove to you hat we nre not as UNI
civilized as we may seem to be"

Some time ago little Mary Browen. who
with her parents resides out toward the
foothills, ave her father two half dollars
which she drew out of her little savings
bank and requested him to invest it for
her in the lottery which she had heard
about by means of circulars of the Louis
llama State lottery received by Mr..
Browen. The dollar was sent to New
Orleans and in due time a lottery ticket
was returned. Later on Mr.. Brown re-
ceiyed word that the little girls ticket had
drawn a prize, and while in the city Mr..
Browen received a draft for 800, which
was cashed at one of the banks. The
ticket had drawn 10 per cent of a 5000
prize, and if little Mary Browen keeps on
in the way she has started she will soon
be investing in corner lots in Cheyenne.

THE OLD
rhe Grant Memorial Exercises at the
Congregational Church.

Space will not admit of more than a
mere mention of the Grant memorial ex-
ercises at the Congregational church last
evening.
The John +. Reynolds post formed at
the court house and marched to the
church at 8 O'Clock, there being a fair
sized audience already present.
L. NJ. Fisher, commander of the Rey
nolds post, was selected as chairman of the
meeting and Adiutant Leibey, secretary.
The order from headquarters directing
the holding of memorial exercises was
read by T. NJ. Fisher, after which prayer
was offered by Rev. d. L. RAIDER.
America" was then sung by the post
and audience, after which Col. Allen
Miller was introduced and proceeded to
deliver a short but exceedingly able eu-
logy upon the life and character of Gen.
Grant, and in SO doing made a COMPARE
son between Grant and Caesar, Alexan-
der, Napoleon and Washington, and took
the ground that he was the equal of
either, and in some characteristics super
ior to any of them.
Gibson Clark, Esq, was the next
speaker, and paid a most graceful and
appropriate tribute to the character of the
Old Commander, whom he said that all
good confederates, as we'll as the OK Union
soldiers, were proud-proud of his char
acter and achievements, and in conclusion
dwelt for a short time on the idea that if
Grant was great in life he was grand in
death.
Hon. +. S. n. Morgan was the last
speaker of the evening. and spoke not
only of the life, character and services of
Grant. but referring to the fact that there
is just as much need now of good men
and true as there ever was, incidentally
alluded to some Of the questions which
are now ~agitating the public mind; such
as the question of capital and labor, etc.
Mr.. Morgan's speech was well timed and
worded, and like those which had pre-
coded it was highly appreciated, and lib
eral applause followed each of the speak
ers.
The collection taken resulted in OBJ.
tanning about $32, which goes toward the
erection of the Grant monument. After
singing the doxology, the benediction was
pronounced by Rev. A. w. Williams and
the audience dismissed.

The Filter In Position.

The trial filter was placed in position at
the hydraht near the southeast corner of
the opera house. yesterday, where its
good, bad, and Indifferent qualities will be
amply tested. Just how long it will take
to give the filter a fair trial is more than
can be conjectured this early. The mem
bers of the water committee made a close
examination of the animal yesterday
and appeared to be well satisfied with
what they saw of its workings.

JOAN WILKES BoOTH's BODY.

"The story about John Wilkes Booth
are very absurd" says Mr.. Louis Die
trich,' an old Washingtonian, Il have
heard people throughout the country say
that Booth was never killed or captured,
and the body, which was brought to
Washington. was dummy. When his
body was brought here on the gunboat
| wanted to see him, but it was almost
impossible to get chance. l thought
of all schemes to get on board, and at
last went to my friend Mr.. Todd. Of the
army, and asked him how l should get
to see the body. He said: We are to
make post mortem examination to-
morrow in the AFTERNOON. You come to
the boat and tell the guards you have
message for me. ! vii! he on board aud
will tell them to sapd you to me as !
am expecting you / did SO and was
admitted. just before the post mortem
examination Mr.. Todd lifted the large
tarpauln that was laid over the body On
the upper deck and showed me the face
Of the dead man. 1t was calm and
peaceful as baby's, and it was John
Wilkes Booth. II ~ all nonsense to say
that he was not there. l saw him and
touched his head. 1t was cold aud dead,
and it'was Booth know what know
and ! saw the man lying there. The
gunboat wal anchored between tho ar
aenal and the navy yard, but nearer the
yard than the arsenal
Among the other absurd stories told
about Booth was Ole to the effect that
his body had been sunk in the eastern
branch Of the Potomac at midnight and
that no one knew where it was. That
was as false as everything else they told.
His body was buried in the old peniten-
tary ground, where the arsenal now is,
together with those OF the other con-
spirators Harold, Paine, Mrs. Surratt
Atzsrodt. There the body laid for ten
years. until it was finally disinterred and
carried to Baltimore aud buried beside
that Of his father in the family burying
ground. Washington Cor. Kansas City
Times.
